Where is Your Target Market Hanging Out?

Reaching today’s younger consumers is more challenging than ever before. Younger folks are not watching television, listening to the radio or reading newspapers like past generations. Knowing how to find younger consumers targeted for jewelry sales is of paramount importance for both brick and click jewelry retailers as well as brand marketers.  

Social networking has been around for generations, but the new twist is the one to many communications that technology has made available.  Each generation has its own language so to speak. Considering the language of  a targeted audience is a means to more effective marketing communications. One way to  better relate with younger folks is to stay current  on some of the hip lingo and phrases that they use.  Check out the site urban dictionary at http://www.urbandictionary.com/.  This is a slang dictionary written by the masses. A great example of  the diversity of how social networking is being applied today.
